Two proposed sports complexes both push for STAR bonds

One proposed project, at the intersection of K-96 and Greenwich Road, is anchored by the Fieldhouse, a multisport athletic complex meant to attract youth sports competitions.

Staff Wichita Business Journal

Two similar-sounding project proposals, one in northeast Wichita and one in Bel Aire, are both seeking a tax incentive known as STAR bonds, though some observers wonder whether it makes sense to incentivize both, KWCH News reports.

STAR bonds allow certain development costs to be funded with sales tax revenue collected in the STAR bond district.

One proposed project, at the intersection of K-96 and Greenwich Road, is anchored by the Fieldhouse, a multisport athletic complex meant to attract youth sports competitions. It also is meant to include hotels, retail and a water park. The Wichita City Council has approved creating a STAR bond district in the area, and on Tuesday it will hold a public hearing about approval of a detailed project plan.

Meanwhile in Bel Aire, KWCH reports, developers want to establish a site called the Kansas Sports Academy, with 17 full-size basketball courts, 25 volleyball courts and room for outdoor volleyball. They said a STAR bond proposal is in the works.

Separately, developers are seeking STAR bonds for an athletic complex in Goddard that they say they might like to turn into an Olympic training facility.

When is the best time to invest in real estate? - 1836 Property ...

The obvious answer would be 30 years ago. Thus a 30 year mortgage would now be paid off and you?d have a cash flowing investment free and clear.
So what if you were tied up a bid 30 years ago or maybe you were only 5 years old. Well the answer for you my friend is NOW.
The Wall Street Journal is predicting a 3.4% rise in home values in 2013. Standard and Poor?s is predicting 5%! We always recommend buying for income and not appreciation however 4% on a $200,000 home is $8,000 or 8 LARGE to those of you in the money business. If you?re holding out waiting for a better scenario it?s not going to happen. Now is the time to solidify your financial future. Put 20% ? 25% down as required by your lender. Get a 15 year mortgage with approx. a 4% interest rate on an assumable loan and laugh your way to closer to retirement each time you repeat this process.

Apple acknowledges Do Not Disturb bug, says it will magically fix itself on January 8th

Well, it's no "you're holding it wrong," but we can't say we're 100 percent satisfied with Apple's response to the recent discovery of a bug affecting iOS's Do Not Disturb feature. Starting January first, ringers failed to turn back on after the predetermined silent period. Today Cupertino seemed to acknowledge the existence of the flaw but, rather than offer a patch, it simply told customers to be patient:

"Do Not Disturb scheduling feature will resume normal functionality after January 7, 2013. Before this date, you should manually turn the Do Not Disturb feature on or off."

Understandably, it'll probably take longer than five days to find the offending code, whip up a fix, test it and roll it out to users. Still, a thorough explanation is always appreciated and the iOS faithful have already been patient enough.
